"Mighty Ohio" new tracked song, yes even an accordion...

[DanvillRob]

Seems like everything's been said....but that doesn't matter.... I need to tell you how much I enjoyed (and will enjoy in the future) this wonderful song... the words...the tune...the production are all spot-on!

Now I think I'll go throw rocks at my guitars.

I think it's fantastic. And enjoyed the video for sure. Americana at its finest.

 

Thanks man. I lived in Lake Charles for quite a while.

Thank you.

Thanks, Bob.

This is the first time I literally "wrote" a song with an ipad. I always used paper. My wife was getting some test at a hospital, and I had to be there and wait. I had this idea in my head, but didn't want to take a yellow legal pad, so I took my ipad. I wrote most of it there in the waiting room. The beauty of that is, you can go back and make changes, change your mind, etc.

Over the next few days, it went through several changes as it came together in my head.

This was BEFORE the environmental disaster upstream at New Palestine, Ohio.

I've never done a "movie" video before, so I had to figure that out, too. The confluence of the Ohio/Mississippi river scene was a cold day trip down river. The railroad bridge in Metropolis Illinois was built in 1917. Total length of the bridge is 6,424 feet (1,958 m). The largest span stretches 708 feet (216 m), and remains the longest pin-connected simple through truss span in the world. Cost of the bridge when built was $4,000,000. (USD) It's still in use.

And, of course, the Mothman is real.

Thanks again, Bob.
